  The INDUS (8-bit) drive uses a SSDD disk drive that is not "compatible"
with IBM style drives.  You can build a connector that would allow you to
use it with an IBM but in general, it is cheaper/easier to just go out and
buy a new one.  If you want to use the drive without ripping it apart you 
can delve into the SIO structure, figure out how the SIO port works, and
then interface the sucker to a parallel port on the IBM.
